AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that its Perfect Circle joint venture with
Pick Everard and Gleeds has been appointed to two new consultancy
frameworks for SCAPE, the United Kingdom’s leading public sector
procurement authority. The frameworks, with a combined value of up
to £1.25 billion, will see the joint venture deliver professional
services for the utilities sector across the UK.
“We’re proud to continue our collaboration with SCAPE alongside
our Perfect Circle partners, and look forward to applying our
multidisciplinary capabilities and track record on key utilities to
benefit communities across the UK,” said Frank Sweet, chief
executive of AECOM’s Environment business. “These new frameworks
extend our role as a key enabler of the UK’s water sector growth
and ongoing energy transition, allowing our teams to build
resilience across the utilities infrastructure pivotal to a
sustainable future.”
Perfect Circle has been appointed to SCAPE’s £750 million direct
award framework for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and its
£500 million dedicated framework for Scotland. The frameworks will
run for a period of four years, with an option to extend for a
further two years. Both frameworks are intended to deliver
solutions and services across a range of utility sectors, including
water, renewables, energy, rail and metro, aviation, ports and
harbors, and telecommunications.
Clients, which include utility sector organizations across the
UK, will have access to the joint venture’s suite of professional
services, including strategic advice, engineering services, design
services, project management and quantity surveying.
“With these new frameworks, our teams continue to expand their
role in delivering the UK’s ambitious grid and utilities
infrastructure modernization objectives,” said Colin Wood, chief
executive of AECOM’s Europe and India region. “Our regional experts
have a long history of collaboration with the UK public sector, and
their ever-evolving skillset across the key pillars of the energy
transition is deepening those partnerships.”
“Our Perfect Circle partnership has consistently delivered value
to public sector organizations across the United Kingdom for more
than six years,” said Richard Whitehead, chief executive of AECOM’s
global Buildings + Places business. “Our Buildings + Places teams
will build upon this success by leveraging the experience of our
partners and AECOM’s integrated, cross-business line expertise in
renewables, grid modernization and other critical framework
services.”
